I think finding an appropriate venue to have a debate would be the least of their problems, any number of places could be used. Money is also not an issue as revenue generated would more than pay for the production.
As Trump has aptly shown these debates are a huge draw and I’ll wager multiple networks would be fighting for the opportunity to show such a debate and garner the ad revenue it brings.
This might also be an opportunity for SuperPacs to do some spending...either through paid advertising during the debate or by sponsoring their favorite candidate(s).
The key is to take the process out of the hands of the MSM and give it over to responsible conservative outlets.

Day late, dollar short, Priebus.
I don't know about that, I'm rather enjoying the blow-back against Clinton's network supporters. Maybe it just might wake up some more people to the media bias...

Is National Review a part of NBC properties?????? Is that why it is mentioned in the letter?
May explain it’s new found liberalism/unipartyism! They certainly smell like NBC.
To: abb
We understand that NBC does not exercise full editorial control over CNBC's journalistic approachThe libtard CNBC tools asked and said exactly what their producers told them to ask and say, in exactly the manner that they asked and said it. Period.

Only a guess. Maybe National Review was going to be part of the feb debates and Prebious is saying they are still in, but NBC is definitely on thin ice.

Prebius knows the media is against the Republicans yet he still agreed to the debates. If he knew and agreed anyway then why is he so surprised by the result? Priebus is not surprised at the result.
Instead, he is surprised by the resistance which has coalesced against him.

Great idea. Maybe Hillsdale College would like to host one of them. It would bring their university great publicity.

Ben Shapiro nailed it today
And so the RNC should do something different: they should stop treating the debates as entertainment for the exploitation of media, and they should start treating the debates as informational opportunities for Republican primary voters. The RNC should hold their debates publicly, livestream them, appoint moderators trusted by Republicans, and invite all media to cover them equally. The small monetary cost of holding such debates will be greatly outweighed by the fact that the Republican-hating media won't control the forum.
Reince Priebus had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the proper reaction to CNBC's debacle; the campaigns were reportedly planning to cut the RNC out of the debate process altogether. Now it's time to go one step further, and to remove the power of the establishment media altogether to control the Republican nomination process.

No, it's the Trump effect. No debate about this.
It's been Trump whos been making non-stop consistant MSM/DC insider ass kicking statements for 4 months now.
Trump has stood DC and MSM on it's head. It's been historic and it's certainly no secret.
What you're attempting say, Cruz finally stood up after the entire election has being primed and set on fire Trump month after month. Yes your boy got some good quips in, I will give ya that.
But unfortunately, clever quips and fast thinking retorts are about all these biased, slanted and manipulated debates are good for. They just reek of corruption.

I sure they (RNC/GOPe) thought the outsiders would be Herman Cained by now. The news that the candidates will meet this weekend to discuss debates - engineered by Trump in another way showing how negotiations work - has probably sent Prebius into an apoplectic shock.
The idea that his statement is a response to CNBC questions is silly. It makes much more sense if it’s a response to the candidates shutting the RNC out of the process.
